In order to change speeds, it is necessary to cut the transmission by pressing the button
1 on the lever.
1st gear: To the right, backwards.
2nd gear: To the right, forwards.
3rd gear: To the left, backwards.
4th gear: To the left, forwards.
USING THE GEARS ON THE GEARBOX
- On these lift trucks with a torque converter, it is not necessary to automatically start up
in 1st speed and progress up the gears.
The choice of gear ratio should be made carefully according to the nature of the work being carried out. A poor choice may result in
the extremely rapid elevation of the transmission oil temperature through excessive slipping of the converter, which could lead to
serious damage to the transmission (it is essential to stop and change the working conditions if the transmission oil temperature
indicator light comes on). This poor choice may also result in a reduction in the lift truck's performance in forward speed. When the
forward force increases, the forward speed in the r gear (for example 3rd gear) may be lower than the forward speed that could be
obtained with the r-1 gear (in 2nd instead of the 3rd).
In general, we would advise you to use the following gears according to the nature of the work being carried out.
• On the road: Set off in 3rd gear and go up to 4th if the conditions and state of the road permit it. In hilly areas, set off in 2nd
gear and go up to 3rd if the conditions and state of the road permit it.
• With a trailer on the road: Set off in 2nd gear and go up to 3rd if the conditions and state of the road permit it.
• Handling: 3rd gear.
2nd gear in restricted spaces.
• Earth moving: 1st gear.
• Loading (reclaiming with bucket, manure fork, etc.): 2nd gear.

When operating this control, the lift truck should be travelling at slow speed and not
accelerating. When the reverser is in the neutral position a mechanical lock prevents an
accidental shifting movement.
FORWARD: Lift slightly and push the lever forwards (position A).
REVERSE: Lift slightly and pull the lever backwards (position B).
NEUTRAL: To start the lift truck, the lever must be in neutral (position C).
NOTE: In OPTION, The reverse lights and the reverse buzzer alarm indicate that the lift
truck is running in reverse motion.

SAFETY WHEN MOVING THE LIFT TRUCK
Authorization to move the lift truck is controlled by an electronic unit. The operator must observe the following sequence to move
the truck forwards or backwards:
1 - sit correctly in the driver’s seat,
2 - release the parking brake,
3 - engage forward or reverse gear.
To stop the lift truck, he must observe the following sequence:
1 - set the gear reverser to neutral,
2 - apply the parking brake,
3 - get out of the lift truck.
If these sequences are not observed (for example, leaving the driver’s seat without applying the parking brake), an acoustic alarm
sounds. You must then return the reversing gear to the neutral position and repeat the sequence.
